Yeah me too.  I ended up with an AMX CA61E which is reviewed there.

It's cheap and cheerful but actually quite feature complete.  The one I
have only has one ethernet port but you can get ones with built in
switches too.

I didn't initially trust it at all and so it sits on a crossover cable
to a linux box that runs iptables and bits and bobs but if I were to
install one for my parents (who have various Windows things) then I'd
just trust it now as I've gotten used to it.

It runs VxWorks so it's vaguely BSD ish in its treatment of things.

Can you tell that I really love my ADSL?

Simon.
